Unfortunately, no biographical details can be investigated about the hornist P. Melchior. Four of his composed works had been printed. It is the "Trois grand Duos concertants pour premier et seconde cor" op.2, 3 duos concertant op.3 for2 horns and the volume with once again 3 duos op.4.

The music is dedicated to "Monsieur le Comte Cormiev du Medic" who was employed by the French military music. This is described on the print as "Capitaine commandante au troiseme Regiment de la garde Royale"....
